Surface coatings (gel-coats) are often used on commercial composite mouldings for cosmetic and/or durability reasons. They have traditionally been prepared in open moulds with styrene vapour allowed to escape to the workspace and environment. This paper considers the development of in-mould gel-coating processes. A Double Glass Plate Mould (DGPM) was used to prepare flat composite test panels. Laminates were manufactured by liquid composite moulding processes. Conventional hand painted gel-coat, innovative In-Mould Gel-Coating with a trilayer separator fabric (IMGC) or In-Mould Surfacing with a silicone shim (IMS) were studied. The surface quality of the final products was measured using a Wave-Scan device while the adhesion of the gel-coat was characterised by pull-off tests. The new processes offer reasonable properties in a cleaner, more controlled process.

Gelcoat are widely used to provide exterior protection for the finished part of fiber reinforced composite material. It is a primary focus to achieve proper gelcoat film thickness because it is a critical control point for crack prevention which is able to increase mechanical strength and withstand harsh environment. The interface between the gelcoat and laminate composite is similarly imperative in deciding the mechanical performance of the composite by controls the reintroduction of stress into component. There are no specified standard to verified that how much gel-coat thickness required to produce certain product since mostly research only focus on the enhancement of composite orientation and fiber combination. The aim of this review is to gain an in depth understanding of exactly the effect of gel-coat thickness on laminate composite structure and strength
